I would have thought by now this would be a lengthy thread with posters reminiscing about their favourite Shoemaker moments.

Sean Bergman would to object.. 9.66 in 68 innings

Today's game is boring and takes way too damn long to play. While I certainly appreciate the advances in statistical analysis made over the last 20 years. it doesn't really lend itself to being a watchable product. Personally I still watch from time to time but I find that if I know I can't commit to staying with the game to the end I just don't watch at all. The NHL being played into the summer months has also played a part for me as hockey has always been and will always be my first sport. As a result I also have found myself taking part in this forum on a much rarer basis. Having said that I have no ideas on how to change things for the better but I sure hope someone does.

Can confirm in my experiences as a coach and an administrator when my son played and also as a scorekeeper/ official scorer in a volunteer role at the top level in the province. Kids may still play ball but they really have little to no interest in MLB.

Bodhisattva! Am I doing it right?

No need for exaggeration. Shoemaker hasn't even been given as many chances as Sean Bergman got.

itstimetotakeit had him for 0 points.

The Twins playoff losing streak is now old enough to come up here and have a drink with me.

I hope I'm not on your list.

And it didn't spill a drop.

This. Maeda has a no-hitter through eight and the Twins are up by 3. Fast forward to the bottom of the ninth. Wait? What? Lol.

Looking forward to the day when we can all gather together again and enjoy our favourite Beatles tribute band.

I think we'll let people do their own search for this reference.

Finally, an article on this site that speaks to me.

Better Call Saul has been, and continues to be, the best show on TV. That is all.

Same here. I'm not normally the kind of guy that gets emotional about a celebrity, famous athlete or musician passing away but this one just feels different. The Folk Festival here this summer probably wasn't going to happen anyway but he was on the schedule to perform. I hadn't had the opportunity to see him live in some time and now that's gone for good. I know music taste is subjective and most people probably have a favourite that they feel everyone should like the same way they do, but how could anyone not enjoy John Prine? The man could write clever, witty and dark, sometimes all in the same line.

John Prine, 73. This sucks big time, one of my favourites. Enjoy your cocktail, vodka and ginger ale and smoke that 9 mile long cigarette. RIP.

I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation.

This will make it very difficult for the Twins to sign him, Cotton.

Outstanding. Hopefully all the red unis have been burned beyond recognition.

Thanksgiving was a month ago. Do try to keep up.

I'm just waiting for that Justin Bieber/Charlie Sheen suicide pact to kick in and put me over the top/
